Money, ... it's a drag
I beleve that banking institutions are more dangerous than standing armies... If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of currency... the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.
~Thomas Jefferson~

Give me control over a nation's money supply, and I care not who makes its laws.
~Mayer Amschel Rotschild~
Founder of the Rotchild Banking Dynasty

If you want to remain slaves of bankers and pay for the costs of your own slavery, let them continue to create money and control the nations credit.
~Sir Josiah Stamp~

"I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my country. As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all wealth is aggregated in a few hands, and the Republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the safety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of war."
~ Abraham Lincoln - In a letter written to William Elkin less than five months before he was assassinated.

"The money power preys on the nation in times of peace, and conspires against it in times of adversity. It is more despotic than monarchy, more insolent than autocracy, more selfish than bureaucracy. It denounces, as public enemies, all who question its methods or throw light upon its crimes."
~ Abraham Lincoln

Fabulous quotes, However, you've rather missed the boat on raising comments on this issue - which has been more in the news than any of the major 'wars' currently in progress.

I would ask, why now?

interesting that Abe said that... I mean, he once went bankrupt trying to start a bank...
Guess he was bitter...

Best not to think about it ;)

Perhaps because despite the financial crisis nothing has changed.
